The newly elected Board Members of the Ateneo Alumni Association of British Columbia, led by its President elect Heidi Ng , with her Vice President Madz Mercado and a team of talented and selfless individuals are gearing up for the Ateneo’s biggest fundraiser for the year 2026.
Set against the elegant backdrop of the Hilton Vancouver Airport Hotel in Richmond, the celebration promises to be more than just another Christmas gathering. It will be a lively night of music, dancing, culinary delights, and exciting opportunities to win fabulous prizes, all while bringing together alumni, friends, and supporters for a common purpose.
Adding to the excitement are the evening’s much-awaited fundraising activities. Guests can test their luck and bidding skills through an engaging silent auction and an exhilarating live auction featuring exciting offerings. Raffle draws and a 50/50 draw will add another element of anticipation, giving everyone a chance to take home a special prize while contributing to a worthy cause.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the Ateneo Scholarship Fund, supporting deserving students in their pursuit of higher education. Through the generosity and participation of the alumni community and its friends, the celebration hopes to help open doors for young people whose dreams and potential deserve every opportunity to flourish.
So, leave the holiday blues behind, put on your dancing shoes, gather your friends, and join an evening where every bid, raffle ticket, dance, and shared laugh contributes to something greater.
After all, the brightest Christmas celebrations are not measured only by the memories we make, but also by the lives we touch.
